Bradley Cooper has confirmed The Hangover III will shoot next autumn in Los Angeles. The actor - who played the part of Phil in the first two instalments of the Todd Phillips-directed comedy - admitted he is keen to get to work on the third in the franchise, and doesn't think it will follow the same path as the previous films.

"I personally want to do it. I hope we're going to start shooting in September. We adhered to the formula in the second one, for those of you who've seen it, and the third one, which would close the whole, sort of, trilogy, which now it would be a trilogy - even though we thought we would never make a second one, let alone anybody see the first one. I think it will take place in Los Angeles and maybe not adhere to the structure. It might be different."

Bradley - who stars alongside comedy star Zach Galifianakis in the movies - previously claimed he was very keen to appear in a third installment despite the second being one of the hardest projects he has worked on. "I'll do whatever Todd wants to do, he's the best, he's the greatest. And I love those guys and I love my character Phil so I would do it in a heartbeat. It was the hardest shoot I've ever done but I just love it. There's got to be a trilogy, you've got to close it up."

Do you like scary movies? New details on the upcoming Scream 4 flick have been leaked by an ironclad source - screenwriter Kevin Williamson. He spilled a few essentials on the casting and the possibilities for the future of the franchise. Keep reading to get the first of many movie spoilers…

Monsters Inc.: When Toy Story 3 finally comes and goes, we’ll still have another Pixar sequel to look forward to. Disney has just announced that a follow to 2001’s Monsters Inc. is in the works. The feature will premiere on Nov. 16, 2012.

Wanted: Kristen Stewart as a replacement…for Angelina Jolie? The forces behind Wanted 2 are reportedly eyeing the Twilight star for a role in the sequel. (Although they had hoped to bring back Jolie, she has already opted out.) Director Timur Bekmambetov is considering casting Stewart as a “young, ass-kicking assassin in the Fraternity.”

Four Brothers: How do you follow a film like Four Brothers? Well, you apparently add another brother. Paramount is currently developing Five Brothers, a sequel to the 2005 entry. Details of the film are not known, but Mark Wahlberg has already expressed interest in returning.

James Cameron plans to make two further instalments to the Avatar franchise.

The award-winning filmmaker - who has just released his first movie in 12 years - plans to turn the alien love story into a trilogy, but hasn’t developed the screenplays yet. “I have a trilogy-scaled arc of story right now, but I haven’t really put any serious work into writing a script,” Cameron said.

James said he hopes the next two films will take a little less time to make, however, because Avatar was in production for four years.

X-Men: Although it’s been six years since X2, Bryan Singer says he may not be done with the comic book franchise. The director recently revealed that he’s entertaining the thought of another installment. “I’m still looking to possibly returning to the X-Men franchise. I’ve been talking to Fox about it,” Singer said. “I love Hugh Jackman. I love the cast,” he admitted. Brett Ratner was at the helm for 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand while Gavin Hood directed 2009’s Wolverine.

Let Tom Cruise know that you still care about him, even if he wasn’t nominated for an Oscar, by taking up Alltel’s offer. Purchase a Samsung Delve before April 16 and receive a free 2GB microSD card loaded with the Mission Impossible trilogy. We guess that Samsung and Paramount couldn’t quite coordinate on this one as you have to mail in a redemption card and will receive your MI prize in 4 to 6 weeks. In the meantime, you can play with Samsung Mobile’s fun site that they set up.

While I’m sure Leatherheads is probably something George Clooney would eventually like to forget, Batman & Robin will probably serve as his most regrettable big-screen project. And that’s a mistake Christian Bale would not like to repeat for himself.

While Bale has made it known he’d be up for a Batman trilogy, he is apparently opposed to introducing a sidekick. According to Starpulse, the intense actor claims he would rather hang up his cape than work alongside another masked man.

“If Robin crops up in one of the new Batman films, I’ll be chaining myself up somewhere and refusing to go to work.”

I’m sure if George had the same clout then that he does now, he would have sad the exact same thing.

It seems repeating the new X-Files title enough times could get you more than one sequel. It might get you two.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Chris Carter said there’s a chance we’ll be seeing more of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully in the future. If things work out favorably at this summer’s box office, the show’s creator would like to move forward with a third installment. One that might possibly fare better with those who have been long-time devotees of the series.

While this upcoming release is intended to serve as a stand-alone feature, a new film would most likely touch on the alien abduction theme that was central to the FOX program. But if fans would like to see that idea come to life, they must first support July 25’s debut of The X-Files: I Want to Believe.

Although his relationship with Kate Bosworth flamed out, I don’t know that anyone can accuse Orlando Bloom of being afraid of commitment.

According to the New York Post, the actor is now set to star in in his third trilogy. Bloom will follow up his work in The Lord of the Rings and the Pirates of the Caribbean franchises with Prince of Persia. Orlando reportedly beat out rising stud Zac Efron to play the title character in this video game adaptation.

Interestingly enough, not only is Persia another Disney creation, it’s being produced by Bloom’s old Pirates boss: Jerry Bruckheimer. I guess the guy really likes familiarity!
